I will never understand why NRS thought removing Takeda was a good idea. Out of all their new fighters, Takeda was the one I found a ton of people unanimously liking, and his relationship with Jacqui could have helped fleshed out her character more as well...but no, Kung Jin, Takeda, Ferra and Torr get one game worth of time before the universe is reset for the second time in the series.

I don't want to be to politically correct or get into that topic, but they made a gay character in the best way. He is a character that just happens to be gay instead of it being his entire personality. I appreciated that. That added with his play style and story made him great.

I don't think that's what she needs. Jacqui needs to be less like her father and actually have a personal goal, not ride off the back of her father in this Faux-Mulan tale of fighting in her dad's place. Her entire style is mimicking Jax's combat. Fist attachments that can do ranged and more. She's military so she uses sci-fi tech like her dad. She doesn't possess anything that her father wouldn't already be able to do with upgrades. Perhaps indulging on her with something new. Whether she has adopted something from the Netherealm when she was born. (Jax was a revenant turned human, you don't just completely recover from that without adopting some scars.) Show the impact of Quan-chi's magic and how it is bound to her. Perhaps indulge more on how Jacqui got conscripted to fight on her father's behalf due to his PTSD. Give her a personal goal that is individual to herself and adopt a new style away from just being Jax Jr.

With Jacqui, her arms are so small that I forget that she has those metal enhancements.

I do feel like the kombat kids get more flak then they deserve. It was an attempt to push a new generation of fighters which, if they had properly committed to it in mortal kombat 11, may have turned out better than the time travel train wreck we ended up with. The problem is that, like you say, NRS just kinda wanted second versions of the original characters for the players to root for, and no one one wants a discount version of their favourite characters when they can have the real thing. In Cassie’s case it wasn’t so much of an issue because Johnny is such a fun and entertaining character that a second, female version of him isn’t the worst, but Jax is a more serious and firm character which is why Jacqui feels particularly boring in contrast. NRS needs to learn that it’s okay for their younger characters to want to branch out and do different things to their parents, and not completely take after them. And being aligned with the special forces, the most boring faction in the whole series, didn’t do them any favours either - they’re an odd blend of most of the main factions, so they should feel that way, not owing absolute loyalty to any.

So, there's a few ideas I could of think of to fix her character flaws, namely, no identity beyond baby Jax but small and girl. 1) The Scientist. Imagine if Jacqui instead of being just puncher like Jax was, she inherited her father's more crafty scientific nature. She's implied to be very gadget heavy with her gauntlets and shield pods but all of it comes off perfunctory. It isn't her gadgets, they were just given to her, and no one else for some reason. If she did have to be in the special forces, have her be in a less battle oriented roll, and take up as a researcher and the mind behind their gadgets. She could still fight, but less golden gloves and more scientist preparing for every eventuality would have been an interesting way to take her character and really give her something no one in the cast does real well. 2) The Ninja. Looking at the concept art a young Jacqui running away to join the Shirai Ryu would have been an cool way to take her away from being Daddy's girl, and could lay the ground work for a bunch of other interactions. Meeting Takeda as a kid to train and have a relationship blossom like that, being a Shirai Ryu counterpoint to Frost and give her some barks at that, obvi Scorpion and now exasperated teacher of two old friend's kids. Move wise, having her be a not very magical Ninja could give her some chops that would set her apart from Takeda and Scorp, but the more stealthy assassin work could give her some distance from Jax. 3) The Rebel. As we see in the opening cutscene of MKX, no doubt there's been more than a few battles raged on Earth realm. Jax has always been part of SF, but just like militaries irl, there's probably a significant group who feel the SF aren't representing them the best way. So, someone outside the SF who still wants to fight, it's up to them. With a baseball bat in one hand and a Molotov in the other, she's there for the people on the ground, and has to fight for them against whatever demonic or outworld threat is invading this time. Her moves can be scrappy, smacking things upside the head and tossing a molly on them as they get back up. The tension between Jax saying he's glad she didn't join the SF but this is not what he meant by that gives her some clear stakes but a pretty strong moral character outside of that. 4) The non-combatant. Let's preface this that just making her a background character is off the table, we want a better story for her, not just to delete character and make a Jax blog post. Now, what if Jacqui followed her mom instead of her dad. She was a nurse, caring for Jax while he got used to his metal arms. Jacqui seeing that as important for the entirety of Earthrealm, since battles are bloody, could have her chase down a medical profession and become a combat medic. Many being conscientious observers, she could only engage in self-defense, with more of her moves being either non-lethal or defensive.

I actually found Jacqui's MK11 ending quite beautiful, emotional and compeling. The several traumas of her dad's life is what lead him to meet her mom and her creation but she's willing to erase herself from history to save her father from all the misery that still eating away at him. I'd argue that ending shows you the type of person she is more than any other actions she did prior. She's really came across as selfless and very heroic, in that moment, to me. There's still a lot that could be done with her but i actually think she's alright MK11, personally. In MKX, on the other hand, she was a non-entity. Her design and personality look and felt so bland and generic that it i didn't know better, i would have thought she was a random Special Forces Agent NPC rather than a playable Kombatant.

I feel more disappointed by how she was executed after she was presented, her fighting style looked great and her combo gameplay is very good but she, along with a lot of other characters, fell under the kustom variation supremacy where one loadout is more useful than any other combination. It makes me wish that she kept her regular flashpoint special and one kustom special allowed her amplified shot to either shoot a rocket, grenade, or stun the opponent similar to Johnny's camera. Other than that, it really feels like they wanted to give her more character but most of her character chapter revolved around the consequences of changing the timeline, an idea that makes sense because that would affect Cassie and Takeda's existence than just her own. It would've been much better if her story ending had Takeda show up in the last second, helped her sort out her feelings, and change the future by traveling back in time and helping the main cast from dying to Sindel, forging a path where Scorpion could've been saved sooner from Quan Chi and establishing a new unity between the Shirai Ryu and Special Forces or something.

I also wish that they gave her something else to her character. If they REALLY wanted to have Jacqui be like her father, why not make her a tech-person just like him? I forget if The4thSnake, SonicHaXD, UnderDawg himself, or maybe even someone else had said this, but when I heard that I KNEW that would have made a much better character.

I think the funniest thing about Jacqui is they basically gave her the most generic story beat that you always see used for poorly written or bad characters. The Noble Sacrifice. No matter how boring or bad a character is, just slap on the ol' Noble Sacrifice and suddenly that character is "Well written" and "Complex".

Cassy works as a character because she adds onto Sonya and Johnny. She is another element in their complicated relationship, with a special bond to both of them. Furthermore she is just interesting conceptually. The mix between a military soldier and a Hollywood star? That can only go wrong in a fantastic way. While Jackie is contrast is just there. She adds little to Jax as a character, especially when you consider that besides being Cassy’s best friend she doesn’t seem to have a special relationship with anyone really. Everything that makes her special is just being Jax. I think Jackie could have been a more interesting character, if her mother were an Outworlder. Think about it! She would be the bridge between those words that just recently got on friendly terms. She wouldn’t fit in anywhere because of her mixed blood. Neither Earthrealm nor Outworlder. There could even be a cool character arc, where she wonders if she is missing out on one side of her heritage, because she was raised by Earthrealmers. Maybe the mother could try and convince her to work for the bad guys, because Jax effectively separated them after her birth. This could also be used to spice up her powers and give her a bit more visual distance from her father.

The thing I like about Jacqui is the reverence for her father, and the struggle he had to overcome and endure. It inspired her to emulate him and want to be like him, because to most children their parents are their heroes. Even in MK10 ermac states that she is Jaxson’s spawn, and Jacqui states she is damn proud of it. The fact she tries so hard to make her father proud of her, and defends his old character in her intro’s to his younger counterpart is telling. I’m surprised that I’m the only one who sees this. She doesn’t just copy her father, she carries the torch of her father( her idol) and reason to strive forward too bring pride to her families legacy. (IE being a 3rd generation soldier).

I honestly think the key to making Jacqui more likable is to go with Shang Tsung’s ending for MK12. The realms can be sent into chaos and Jacqui can be turned into what she originally was from her old concept art as she fights through the dystopian universe that Shang created. Her concept art look would serve it well & her gameplay as well as her lore can get a major face lift from that. For the record by the way I actually really liked Jacqui in MK11. Her improvements were effective as far as getting me on board goes, and I think a lot of the hate she gets is way over the top & unwarranted

As annoying as her gameplay is, she became my MK crush when I first saw her, even before I knew Takeda had a crush on her😂. I believe NRS was trying to make her the redemption of Jax's character which was pointless because he already redeemed himself in MKX. Even with all of the pain he's endured, he understood that not only does he have to protect Jacqui but Earthrealm. I'm guessing due to passing of Vera, it gave him a reason to be worry because Jacqui's all he has now. Her arc is basically proving to her father that she can protect Earthrealm, she has his fighting spirit. Oh and TAKEDA FOR MK12!

Literally the only reason why I was first drawn to Jacqui on the night of MKX release was the fact that my now wife and I were dating at that time, and we had met in the military a year prior. Jacqui's alternate costume along with her hair was exactly what my wife wore. Also, I didn't know the lore yet at that time too but I figured Jax and Jade got together somehow and had a daughter. Jade was my favorite MK female since Umk3, but alas. That wasn't the case lol. But also, her rockets too were my only hope for sektor since triborg wasn't a thing. And when MK11 dropped, I thought she was ugly in her new design. Moves, wack, fatalities, wack. But I made her orb variation work tremendously before I gave up on the game. She's boring, no sex appeal, not worth remembering. So yeah, can definitely do without Combat Kids. Ever again

Yeah, I really like the character Takeda too lol. Backstory, design, and gameplay. Son of Kenshi and trained both by him and Scorpion himself. How awesome is that? Honestly, I think Shinnok being defeated by him instead of Cassie would have felt more earned and likely. . . 🥰🥰 I like Jacqui but she just feels. . . . . . ."there" to move the plot along. Both in MKX and in MK11 although a little less so in the latter. She needs to do something super important in future games or whatever if she returns again. Even gameplay-wise she just feels like a more nimble, lite version of Jax himself. At least others like Takeda has unique skills like his bladed whips and energy blades he can telepathically wield (which interestingly enough, seems Jax himself designed his tech if one of their MKX interactions are to be believed...) and Kung Jin mostly focuses on archery, which is a first if I recall correctly. Sure, Nightwolf was the first to have "bow & arrow" so to speak but his whole gimmick didn't center around that. 👀 In fact, I think it'd be interesting to see her MK11 ending played around with in a future game with Jax. Somehow finding out he had a daughter and she did this (or something similar...) to "protect/save" him and him coming to terms with that and trying to find a way to change that. I'm sure Major Briggs would NEVER want that regardless of what destiny had fated for him. 😪

And not to mention her moveset basically being the green cage powers combined with military weapons and tools to make a super flashy and creative kit... though I think that personality wise cassie can seem to be a little cringe from time to time cause of the ages of her writers, for me though that adds to her whole shtick.

It'd also put that character in conflict with her parents, who probably wouldn't approve of using the skills they trained them with for wetwork and espionage - as well as the danger of infiltrating Black Dragon bases and possibly even Outworld

I love her so much personally. but I can even admit that though the pieces were there to make a compelling story, the studio didn't exactly know how to put them together. or they didn't care to. Edit : they could have also had a story where she tries to live up to her dad's legacy but eventually comes to the realization that she needs to make her own legacy.

An idea of making Jacqui more interesting - Instead of being a Jax clone who is strong and likes punching people, Jacqui is an absolute nerd who works with intel and crafting weapons. She feels out of place around the other Kombat kids due to her inability to be such a showoff given how she works behind the curtains. Her character arc is about developing confidence and her own fighting style, her gameplay would consist on placing traps and punishing the opponent, with insane damage potential but a high skill ceiling. She could even improve her father's work specializing in prosthetics for soldiers, having variations that focus on different styles turning her into a flexible pick. - I think the Kombat kids are made for a new generation of players to connect better and see new faces, we have Cassie as our sassy and cool bubblegum girl, but Jacqui could hit the opposite spectrum of it as a reclusive and shy genius who stays too much time in front of a computer, contrasting with Cassie and having the two of them helping each other with their unique traits; Cassie helping Jacqui to be more confident and teaching her some moves, Jacqui creating new equipment for Cassie and helping her studying and so on...

Her being a total weapons/engineering/gadgets geek would make for some cute moments between her helping out her dad with his robot arms or straight up building some alternatives for him to use to feel more comfortable living normally.

I honestly hope the kombat kids return as kameos later on, takeda is coming back as a playable character, a lot of jacquis concepts shown here would fit super well in mk1

I see you took stabs at NetoTigr, the most infamous Full Auto user from back in the day haha! Nice one, bro! Also yeah, i'm on the same page with you. They should've took the leap of faith with Jacqui and use that concept art. And to add to that since i saw a cool combo video on modded MKX on PC. Since Jacqui is pretty obviously into Takeda, they could've also gave her a variation which mixed the Jax thing with Scorpion's thing, whereas, she gets trained by Scorpion as well, but not as an official student of his. Just imagine, those cyber enhanced arms with the agility of a Shirai Ryu member and their kunai techniques and teleports? That would be a sight to behold! :D

Honestly I think Jacqui is cute, so it's a shame. She should have had a mentor to give her secondary attributes like Cass and Takeda. Like for example idk why this would be the case but maybe her mom had cyromancy or whatever so she trains with Sub-Zero She freezes people and then shatters them with her Jax like fists. Idk.

As much as I do love Jacqui I do have to admit there really isn't anything special about her. It made me so mad when I finished her ending in mk11 and she's just erased her own existence like that's all she gets? It was so lame! They could've done so much more with her I think they just got lazy when creating her

Man… looking at that concept art depressed me seeing her potential for so many reasons. 1. Will devs stop shying away from *giving black women their natural hair?!* that natural hair is beautiful. 2. Give her a different fighting style. I love the knives/batons she seems to have. 3. She could have easily served as a foil to the rest of the people in her group. Her concept art lets me imagine a rebellious young woman distant from her father, learning how to fight in some underground arenas and such. She gets conscripted into the army at her fathers insistence and she hates it. She argues with Cassandra and Kung Jin but kicks ass in her own right. But over the course of the game, she grows close to Takeda and begins to understand her father, maybe even begin to respect him. Then she could have joined the special forces officially in MK11.

Jacqui isn't boring. Just she is no where near as good as her dad. Jax is also an iconic character and many people love him.

She is boring. Her story arc is nonexistent. Her personality is on vacation. She was Jax Lite for enough of the franchise. Jacqui is essentially a playable background character. The fact they nixed Takeda to keep her is proof she is only around to fill a quota on the roster.

None of the Kombat Kids are terribly interesting but the most boring character has to be Erron. Grizzled, gravelly voiced dude who uses guns, what an incredibly novel idea for a videogame character.
